Meditate On
...God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things
which do not exist as though they did.
Romans 4:17
Call
Forth What You Want To See!
How does God respond to our problems? For example, how
did He respond to the problem of darkness? The Bible tells us that when God saw
darkness on the face of the deep, He said, “Let there be light,” and there was
light (Genesis 1:3). God saw the light and
it was good. He saw good after He spoke! He didn’t speak about the darkness He
saw. Instead, He spoke forth what He wanted to see.
My friend, you are made in God’s image. And God wants you
to deal with the problems in your life by speaking forth what you want to see.
Unfortunately, many of us tend to speak about our problems instead. We keep
talking about how bad the situation is and then we wonder why the whole
situation just seems to get worse!
Now, I am not telling you to deny that your problem
exists. The darkness was there and God saw it, but He did not speak about what
He saw. Rather, God chose to speak forth what He wanted to see. In fact, He
called forth everything of creation—the sun, moon, stars, land animals, sea
creatures and vegetation. By simply speaking, He brought all these incredible
things into existence.
Beloved, if you want to see good, then speak the good
that you want to see. Don’t say, “This headache is really killing me.” Say, “I
am healthy and strong for by Jesus’ stripes I have been healed!” And don’t say,
“My boss hates me. He’s always picking on me.” Instead say, “Because I have
favor with God, I have favor with my boss!” Call forth the good that you want
to see and you will see it!
